      We called them HandyMan Jacks where I grew up . But then where I grew

   The hardened rock drill rod I mentioned earlier became an adapter bushing to   
   attach an HF jack spreader beam to another brand of low profile floor jack.   
   The HF jacks use a special hex socket head plug bolt to attach the lift pad   
   or spreader beam to their jacks. If you encounter this the thread is 24mm x   
   1.5mm, which I had to single-point on the lathe.
